/mu/ - Music (Temp full images)

Hot Rats is a pretty good instrumental album

>>46911006
I agree with you op pop music should be serious business!! xD
*tips fedora*

>>46911006
Check out Weasels Ripped My Flesh if you want some really good experimental music.
Burnt Weeny Sandwich is mostly instrumental but I didn't think it was as good as WRMF

Freak out! is also fan favorite and not too satirical if I am remembering correctly.

>>46911074
I know I'm responding to bait but his juvenile toilet humor doesn't do it for me. Sorry friend.

You'll probably like Uncle Meat, Weasels Ripped my Flesh, and Shut Up n' Play Yer Guitar.

>>46911074
nobody fucking said that
there's lots of good comedy music, but Frank Zappa's isn't an example of that

>>46911074
worst new trip

>>46911084
>>46911103
Thanks boys (or girls...if so, want my email?).

And aren't there several volumes of Shut Up n Play Yer Guitar?

Don't be a doofus, OP. Try to dig the humor.

Buuuuut you should definitely check out:

Hot Rats
Burnt Weeny Sandwich
Roxy & Elsewhere / Roxy by Proxy
The Grand Wazoo
and Jean Luc Ponty's King Kong

>>46911074
I like Zappa's humor, but you're not helping.

>>46911098
>juvenile toilet humor

You're correct in saying he is the worst

Filtering you already.

>>46911006
Listen to The Mothers of Invention, all his good work was done then.

Or listen to Red Noise if you want to hear his toilet humor but in French. Or listen to European avant-prog of the 70's if you want to hear instrumental versions of his music (Komintern, Henry Cow, Etron fou Leloublan, etc.)

>>46911006
Hot Rats and Shut Up N Play Yer Guitar

perfect for you.

>>46911208
change your name to cunnilingus lettuce tomato and we good m8

>>46911074
Its not that music should not be funny its that frank zappa tries to be funny but fails in most occasions.
and op to awner your question I would sujest lumpy gravy, hot rats, Uncle Meat, Burnt Weeny Sandwich, Weasels Ripped My Flesh and waka/jawaka to be great pieces of work with him with no comedy that I can remember of. though some of the mentioned work might be a bit weird for someone thats not used to him.

>>46911271
>fails in most occasions

>>46911006
Listen to the live album "Just Another band from LA".

>>46911309

>>46911334
Thanks gene/fake gene. I can't tell anymore.

>>46911309

how could i with clt? he thinks ege bamyasi is the best can album for fucks sake.

>>46911208

>>46911589
>b-but muh 7/10 scaruffi rating

ege is bestyasi deal with it pleb

>>46911607
more like Edgy Memeyasi

>>46911589
That's definitely not an invalid or even unpopular opinion. Tago Mago, Ege Bamyasi, and Future Days are generally considered to be part of one of the most brilliant streak of albums ever put out by a band.

>>46911631
Haha I just got wrecked

But seriously, the Scaruffi ratings are the only reason "Ege is obviously the worst Suzuki studio album" became a /mu/ meme. Literally no other source ranks them that way.

>>46911682
Try harder. You're the only one who knows Scaruffi's opinion on Can.

>>46911589
Is he the real CLT?

>>46911703
>Literally no other source ranks them that way.
Prove me wrong. Patrician tip you can't

We're Only In It For The Money is a great example of him using satire and humor without sounding try-hard or immature. Outsider commentary on the hippie movement, both from the sides of the "free love" youth and the conservative adults of the time. Zappa's comedy had a lot more magic when he was performing with The Mothers of Invention.

Plus, WOIIFTM is Zappa's best album.

>>46912785
My kid sister wrote a college application essay about "Who Needs the Peace Corps" and didn't realize the song was scathing satire. Lucky for her, I proofread it.

>>46912785
Agreed. Especially in the live performance environment, when he could interact with the rest of the band, as opposed to just resorting to silly lyrics and noises for laughs.

For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkYVyfQjWso

>>46912912
Is she dull? It just seems like one of those things you should instantly know is satire

>>46911589
>>46911607
i didn't know i actually shared an opinion with clt.

>any year
>taking music seriously

time to find a new hobby u fucking idiots lmao

>>46912949
She's brighter than average, but intensely earnest.

The other 5/6 of my immediate family is extremely cynical, so she sort of sticks out in this respect.

>>46913007

>>46913033

Probably one of my favorite examples of Zappa/Mothers humor

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5RFzWUC5nM

>tfw no one brings up Overnite Sensation on /mu/
It was easily his most commercially accessible album.
It was damn good, too.

>>46913076
I like the throwaway references to jokes on other albums. Like,
>"Now, when the pony's mane starts to get good in the back..."
Made me spit my drink out the first time I heard Lumpy Gravy.

But I think overall www.youtube.com/watch?v=svdrAHn_LGo is probably my favorite comedic song he did.

>>46913168
Yeah, I kind of had this in mind when I was posting as well. For as much shit as your getting on this thread, I like your style

>>46913076
Mark Volman is God-tier frontman. This and Just Another Band from LA are wonderful due to his presence.

I actually preferred the album just called "Guitar" to the "Shut Up n' Play Yer Guitar" series. It's definitely harsher tho

>>46912785
Absolutely Free is satirical in the same way but isn't as dated or unpleasant, though it's a lot sillier sometimes

Hot Rats
Waka/Jawaka
The Grand Wazoo
Orchestral Favorites
Jazz From Hell
The Yellow Shark

Does /mu/ even Zappa?

>>46913439
Unpleasant?

>>46913490
We're Only is Zappa basically at his angriest lyrically.

>>46913490
Not as many snorkel noises or distorted voices, the lyrics aren't as gross, etc

>>46913567
Incest isn't gross to you?

>>46911006
>I can't get into Frank Zappa because of all the unfunny 'humor' he attaches to his music
I have no idea if this is true so maybe thats why I think its so cute

>>46913168
>tfw didn't get the reference

>>46911006
Listen to Hot Rats, Lumpy Gravy and then dig into his Mothers stuff, maybe listen to Waka/Jawaka too but that's basically his best work.

If you want any more then check out Captain Beefheart.

I'll admit I used to love his humour based stuff but after seeing some interviews of him he really does end up sounding like the angry atheist or whatever fedora toting pleb starts arguments for the sake of arguments.
